We are just back from a super break in Rome. We had the most wonderful weather, beautiful food and spent 5 glorious days wandering through the ancient cobbled streets. Narrow alleys led us to Roman monuments, Baroque fountains, and historic buildings. The city is like an open air museum, every corner turned, awaited a new artifact to be discovered! It is hard to list a favourite 'sight' or building, but I really enjoyed the walk leading us through the city to the Vatican. The picture of the angel above, stood proud on one of the bridges that crossed the Tiber, on the way to the Vatican.
It was also lovely to catch some sunshine and warmth before our winter sets in. I love the autumnal yellows against the crisp Mediterranean sky. So its back home, and busy busy busy now in my art room, as I've lots of stock to paint. So this week I am concentrating on my cake plates...heres a sneak at one of my Christmas designs.
Rome in the Autumn - how lovely! Glad you had a relaxing time. Love your new cake plate designs - I love bright colours!!
